Actually I was all the time born a vegetarian but when I came in this country I started eating meat for a while. And then suddenly when I lost my husband and he had a kidney problems and all those things then I realised I should not be eating too much meat and everything. Internally I didn’t like very much, because I myself is a, work I have done nutrition myself. So I stopped eating meat. So is my son, so is my daughter. And so we decided to become vegetarian. But I am very conscious what I eat so that we don’t lack any sort of vitamins.
And my first doctor was good as well because when we used to ask him what to eat and what not to, he said, “You should eat everything, balance everything so don’t worry what you are. Don’t worry that you are vegetarian that you are suffering, it’s not like that.”
So you eat pulses?
Yeah.
Like lentils and things?
But my GP, first GP was good. She used to give example of my own father-in-law because he was 97 at that time. So she said, “Look at your father-in—law, he’s 97, has he ever eaten any meat?” I said, “No.” So he said, “OK, then, just think how he is good, so you can be good as well, if you eat properly.” And that’s it. But she never used to say, “Yeah, you should eat meat.” Or anything. So I thought our food is good, so why can’t we eat a balanced diet?
But recently I have started taking omega 3. Omega 3?And cod liver oil. Because that helps my bones. To me I feel that that helps a lot. Pain is less. And I have cut down my painkillers, a lot of painkillers.
Now?
Since I’ve taken this omega 3 and cod liver oil.
